Turning the device on or off, Power modes, Doze mode

Turning the TSC710 controller on

To turn on the TSC710 controller, press-hold the Power key for about 4 seconds. The Powered by Android boot screen appears.

The first time you turn on the device, the Android operating system takes you through some basic setup steps; follow the instructions on the screen.

Once your device has been set up, if you have set a PIN, password, or pattern to unlock the device, swipe up on the touchscreen to enter it.

Power key functions

• If the TSC710 controller is off:

  • with no external USB power supply connected:

    • a short Power key press turns on the charge LED (while the button is pressed) but does not start the operating system.

    • a long Power key press (about 4 seconds) turns on the device and starts the operating system. The Powered by Android boot screen appears.

  • with an external USB power supply connected (charge-only mode):

    • a short Power key press displays the battery level and charging animation but does not start the operating system.

    • a long Power key press (about 4 seconds) turns on the device and starts the operating system. The Powered by Android boot screen appears.

• If the TSC710 controller is on (the operating system is running) and the TSC710 controller's display is on:

  • a short Power key press turns the display off; the device goes into Doze mode. See About Doze mode below.

  • a Power key press of about 1 second opens the Power menu.

• If the TSC710 controller is on (the operating system is running) but the TSC710 controller's display is off, a short Power key press turns on the display.

• An extra-long Power key press (15 to 25 seconds) forces the device to turn off, no matter what state it is in (even if the operating system has become unresponsive.) When you press-hold the Power key, the charge LED lights up green. After 15 to 20 seconds the charge LED briefly turns off then on again indicating that the power has been turned off. You should be able to start the device with the normal 4-second Power key press.

  NOTE – If you do not release the Power key soon after the LED off / on cycle, you will likely trigger the operating system to start so the device will not stay in the Off state.

About Doze mode

If you have not interacted with the TSC710 controller for one minute (default setting), the screen turns off and the device goes into a power-saving Doze mode. Doze reduces battery consumption by deferring background CPU and network activity for apps when the device is not in use. The device exits Doze mode and resumes normal activity as soon as the Power key is pressed or when connected to a charger.

• To manually put your device in Doze mode, briefly press the Power key.

• To wake up your device from Doze mode, briefly press the Power key. Depending on your security settings, your device may be locked. To unlock it, swipe up on the screen then enter your PIN, password, or pattern if required

• To set the screen turn-off time, go to Settings / Display / Screen timeout, and select your preferred duration.

Turning the TSC710 controller off

Power Off mode shuts down the TSC710 controller completely. Minimal processes still work such as maintaining date and time. To power off the device, do one of the following:

• press-hold the Power key until the Power menu appears, then tap Power Off.

• swipe down twice from the top of the screen, then tap the Power icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. On the Power menu tap Power Off.

Restarting / rebooting the device

If you need to reboot the device, press-hold the Power key until the Power menu appears, then tap Restart. Restart will reboot the system by powering off momentarily and then immediately powering back up and rebooting.
